Detection and mitigation of Byzantine behaviors in a decentralized learning setting is daunting task, especially when the data distribution at users heterogeneous. As our main contribution, we propose Basil, fast computationally efficient robust algorithm for training systems, which leverages novel sequential, memory assisted performance-based criteria over logical ring while filtering users. I...

Salinity is one of the main challenges in agriculture, especially arid and semi-arid regions. Salicylic acid application may be a strategy to mitigate harmful effects salt stress on plant growth. Basil (Ocimum basilicum ) medicinal, spice, ornamental grown around world that has its growth reduced by stress. Therefore, objective was evaluate salicylic mitigating damage caused ‘Cinnamon’ basil. G...

AIM The aim of the study is to investigate the antibacterial activity of 10 volatile oils extracted from medicinal plants, including galangal (Alpinia galanga Linn.), ginger (Zingiber officinale), plai (Zingiber cassumunar Roxb.), lime (Citrus aurantifolia), kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC.), sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum Linn.), tree basil (Ocimum gratissimum), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus D...

AIM The objective of this study is to investigate the hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, and hepatoprotective effects of the aqueous extract of parsley, basil, and chicory whole plant in normal and dexamethasone (Dex) rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS 50 female albino rats were used in this study and divided into 5 groups (for each 10). Group (1) fed basal diet and maintained as negative control group. G...

Environmental and water pollution through heavy metals is a growing concern. The recycling of untreated wastewater, which is often contaminated with heavy metals, for agricultural applications is becoming more popular. However, information on the amount of absorption and accumulation of cadmium (Cd) at variable concentrations by different crops is limited. This study aims to analyze the impact ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of 638-nm and 665-nm LEDs on changes of antioxidants of basil (Ocimum basilicum) and parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and to assess the effect of light quality on antioxidative status. Plants were grown in peat substrate for 19 days (21/17 ±2°C, 16 h). Experiments were performed in (I) a controlled-environment: B455,R638,R665,FR731(control); B45...

the main objective of this study was to determine the effects of plant growth promoter bacteria on biomass and yield of basil. the experiment was carried out as randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of agriculture company of ran in firouzkuh of iran in 2012 . the treatments were [1] azotobacter chroococcum (a), [2] azospirillum lipoferu...

use of the growth indices is a method to assessment of intercropping efficiency. in order to evaluation growth indices of soybean, sweet basil and borage in intercropping with different ratios, an experiment base on randomized complete block design was conducted with 9 treatments and 3 replications at north khorasan in 2011. treatments were consisted of the plants pure culture, replacement seri...

Twenty-two local Thai culinary herbs and spices normally used for cooking were screened for their antioxidant properties by using FRAP, DPPH and TBARS assays. Four ethanolic extracts, i.e., holy basil, Vietnamese coriander, turmeric and green peppercorn, having high antioxidant properties were selected for freeze-drying and used in the pork meatball batter. The batter of pork meatball was prepa...
